Winter Tares Green Manure Seeds
Vicia sativa, also known as Vetches.

This is a hardy annual that can be sown March-May or July-September for over-wintering. It is good at nitrogen fixing and for weed suppression on heavier soils but avoid acid or dry soils and dig in before flowering.

Winter Tares green manure is part of the pea family so do not sow on ground before legumes in a crop rotation plan as can lead to the build up of harmful pests and diseases.
